    The transition from 1.7.9 to 1.8.0 introduced some new keywords, 'try' and
    'break' among others. In the pervious servers you could have 'try' and
    'break' as variables in your verbs, in the new server you cannot. Therefor,
    the server changes any appearance of such a variable to a harmless one (with
    a _ in front i think)

    Of course, it only does this when it's converting an old style DB to the new
    style, and therefor only does this once (it dumps it in the new style)

    Regards,
